Christina Henry

Christina Henry serves as a key procurement lead within the W06Q Recruiting Command Headquarters, supporting the U.S. Army Recruiting Command’s mission to attract and onboard qualified personnel through strategic acquisition of communication and language services. Her work directly enables the agency’s digital outreach initiatives by securing specialized translation and interpretation capabilities critical to multilingual recruitment campaigns, public engagement materials, and mobile workforce support tools. She manages the full lifecycle of service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 12, focusing on performance-based contracts that ensure linguistic accuracy, cultural competency, and rapid deployment across diverse operational environments. Henry maintains a tightly aligned procurement strategy centered exclusively on small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions set aside under FAR 19.5 for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate and consistent commitment to fostering vendor diversity and empowering economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs. She actively cultivates partnerships with small, agile service providers—particularly those certified under the 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs—ensuring that contracting opportunities are accessible to niche language service vendors with proven expertise in military and government contexts. Her procurement focus is singularly concentrated on NAICS 541930, Translation and Interpretation Services, reflecting deep domain expertise in linguistic support for defense communications. She procures a range of specialized services including real-time interpretation for recruitment events, localized digital content adaptation, multilingual script translation for video and print campaigns, and on-demand language access for virtual and in-person enlistment processing. Her technical acumen ensures that language solutions meet DoD standards for security, compliance, and cultural relevance, directly enhancing the Army’s ability to connect with underrepresented communities nationwide.
